Reader Request: Summer Wedding

does anyone know of a pretty wedding-appropriate-and-happens-to-shave-a-few-pounds-off dress they think I’d like? Please lead me there by leaving a link!
Let me start by saying that the dress she had in mind for this wedding was super cute! it was a strapless royal blue dress (which btw is my favorite color in clothing at the moment — especially when I pair it with gold accessories). Anyways I found a few dresses that I could suggest to her that are flattering, cute and perfect for a summer wedding. I hope she likes them :)
Notice that all 3 dresses (i had to cut down my choices to 3) all have straps on them. I recently went to a wedding and wore a strapless dress.. and let me tell you, when your are getting your groove thang on, nothing is more annoying that having to watch the top area of your dress.
I chose dresses that were loose in the mid section but had an elastic waist to give the illusion of a smaller waist. I would pair these dresses with a pair of cute wedges, it will make your legs look longer and slimmer, and let me tell you one-twenty-one is a runner and has some killer calves so she will definitely be able to pull any of these off.
As far as accessories go, i would keep it simple with a few bangles, and earrings. I would wear bigger eye catching earrings with the first and last dress, but keep it a little more simple with the 2nd dress because it already has an eye catching print.
personal note: I hope you have an awesome time at the wedding! Whatever you decide to wear, make sure you rock it with confidence and others will be sure to notice you :)
